A Healthy & Simple Dinner

Mmmm, this is a new favorite recipe and I wanted to share it. Alisa, a friend from church, made it for us after Blaise was born. It's also in the Simply in Season cookbook. Healthy and delicious!

Black Bean & Sweet Potato Burritos

Ingredients:

3 cups sweet potatoes,diced (usually one large sweet potato makes this much)

1 small onion diced or chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 cups cooked black beans (one can)

1 tsp ground cumin

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

8 tortillas (I use whole wheat)

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

sour cream & salsa

Preparation:

Saute sweet potatoes until tender. If they start to stick, add a little water. Add black beans, onion, cumin, cinnamon, salt; cook until heated through. (Last time I added a little brown sugar too which was tasty-of course!;)

Divide bean mixture & cheese among tortillas and roll up. Place in a 9x13 pan. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 20-25 min.

Serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or avacado. Also great with rice and corn on the cob!

Enjoy!
